As is my Browning.

Re: Shotgun selection

I agree with the recommendation to check the group first.

If you do need to buy her a shotgun, an over - under will probably be the best bet. In sporting clays, the shots are two at a time, so more aren't needed. The extra weight of the double barrels helps smooth the swing and improve hit probability. A pump will make those second shots harder, especially for the inexperienced shooter.

O/U shotguns can be very expensive, but Academy sells some for as little as $400.
